Oh boy, here we go again!

A poll graphic asks if American schools should teach Arabic numerals, showing results in Roman numerals: 'Yes' at XXIX%, 'No' at LVII%, and 'No Opinion' at XIV%, with a total of MMCCCXIII votes. The joke is that 'No' wins overwhelmingly, but the percentages are written in Roman numerals, making the 'No' result appear as 57% (LVII) while 'Yes' is 29% (XXIX), which is a humorous misdirection.
